1981
I thought of it on Monday
And mentioned it to Scott.
It crossed my mind on Wednesday
We talked of it a lot.
And yet that day is just a blur
On how our time was spent.
All I know is just one thing-
The day just came and went!
How does it happen year after year?
You’d think we’d have a plan
To honor years past and ones to come
For such a wondrous man!
But, NO!- it doesn’t happen!
There’s nothing more to say
On how we manage to forget
Still one more brief birthday.
Your day is not the only one
We fail to celebrate.
The so called “special days” are just
To us another date.
So please allow us this one quirk.
Please know we care a lot.
And silently wish you a joyous birthday
(Whether we say so or not),
